It's a really awesome laptop, and Acer seems to think so too because they refreshed it with touchscreens for Windows 8.

Installed a 128GB ssd and upgraded it to Windows 8, and it really flies.

I do have IObit's Start menu 8 installed (too cheap to buy Start8), but I almost never use it.

Currently running Windows 8 Pro 64-bit w/WMC.

This thing takes NO prisoners. I've yet to find anything it can't do.

And thankfully it does NOT have that (afaic useless) UEFI, OR a touch-screen.

I don't see it being replaced by a Surface or similar in the foreseeable future.

I've got an Asus K55A running Windows 8, I didn't bother upgrading to Pro as so far it does what I need it to. It came with 4GB of RAM but I put another 4GB in so I've got 8GB.
